Product Description

The unique and advanced HT820 conforms to all aspects of USTC certification for portables used in hazardous locations. It further exceeds this by being fully submersible - all other products in this class are merely splash-proof construction. Entel believes that non-submersible portables have no place in the harsh world of maritime and terrestrial high-risk environments. The HT820 is the VHF High-Band version (148-174MHz), but there is also the HT840 (Marine Band 156-163.275MHz) and HT880 ( UHF TX 425-470MHz RX 438-470MHz). Supplied with a 3 year warranty.

Features:

Intrinsically Safe
Radios for use in the potentially explosive environments of oil and gas installations, such as tankers or drilling platforms, or in gas-laden atmospheres encountered by the emergency services must be designed and constructed to be totally safe. Note: For land applications in EU/EFTA countries it is now a legal requirement to be compliant with the European ATEX Directive. Please see the HT900 Series product.

The HT800 Series is USTC Certified, and approved for use in hazardous locations. The certification code is interpreted as follows:

Classes I, II & III, Div 1
Group A
Group B
Group C
Group D
Group E
Group F
Group G
and non incendive Class 1, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, D hazardous locations.
T4 Indicates maximum surface temperature should not exceed 135 o C
USTC Certified Intrinsically Safe Classes I, II & III, Groups A to G, Div 1 & 2 T4.

Submersible
The unique and advanced HT800 Series conforms to all aspects of USDC Certification for portables used in hazardous environments. It further exceeds the requirements by being completely submersible (IP67) - all other radios in this class are merely splashproof. Entel believes that non submersible radios have no place in the harsh world of maritime and terrestrial high-risk environments.

Ergonomic
Large rubber armoured volume control and side grips make HT800 series easy to grip with wet or gloved hands, and have indispensable high visibility displays.

Built for hostile environments
HT800 radios are unique in offering such a full specification. They are built without compromise to deliver superb, consistent performance in the most hostile environments encountered on land or at sea.

Powerful
Delivers a maximum of five watts RF power on VHF and four watts on UHF, both switchable to one watt low power should you wish to conserve battery life.

Feature Rich
Simple To Use! - With all its technological advances the HT800 series remains very simple to use, with the majority of its features accessed by a single key depression.

Scanning
Ultra fast MEM® scan searches through memorised channels to ensure no lost calls.

Superior Audio Quality
Latest compander noise reduction technology delivers loud and crisp audio no matter what environment you are in.

Battery Life Indicator
Continually monitors battery state for your safety and convenience.

Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
This very latest battery technology gives you three big advantages: 1. Huge fifteen hour duty cycle with supplied CNB840E battery pack. 2. Not prone to the dreaded memory effect that Nicad and Ni-MH battery packs suffer from, therefore no more need to fully discharge your battery pack before charging! 3. Stores a charge up to three times longer than a Nicad.

VOX
Hands free operation when used with a VOX accessory.

Programmable buttons
For your convenience there are four programmable buttons that give you instant access to any of the advanced features offered by HT800 Series.

Three Year Warranty
The HT800 series transceivers are supported by a three year manufacturer’s warranty.

Key Benefits:

With licensed two-way radio:

• There are no call charges no matter how many calls you make!
• You get your own exclusive channel to avoid interference from other radio users
• Instant communication at the touch of a button
• Hand portables will give you typical ranges of 5-6Km, less in built-up areas but greater ranges are also possible*
• You may add a base station to more than double the range of a hand portable radio

* range is mainly dependant on terrain, for example one clients mobile radio system provides 3 miles range in one direction (due to hills) and 40 miles range in another. Careful equipment selection and system engineering will significantly improve your range, please ask us for advice.

Intrinsically Safe and certified to USTC

Typical Applications (include but are not limited to):

Shipping
The HT800 radios may be used in the potentially explosive environments of oil and gas tankers weighing over 500 gross tones ** . The HT800 has the added benefit of being totally submersible as opposed to just being splash proof like most other radios. This makes the HT800 Ideal for one of the world’s harshest environments.

Emergency Services
The HT800 radios may be used in potentially explosive environments encountered by the emergency services*. The HT800 has the added benefit of being totally submersible as opposed to just being splash proof like most other radios, the world’s finest deserve the world’s best.

Drilling Platforms
The HT800 radios may be used in the potentially explosive environments of the world’s drilling platforms* . The HT800 has the added benefit of being totally submersible as opposed to just being splash proof like most other radios. This makes the HT800 Ideal for one of the world’s harshest environments.

Refineries
The HT800 radios may be used in the potentially explosive environments of the world’s refineries* . The HT800 has the added benefit of being totally submersible as opposed to just being splash proof like most other radios.

** Important Note:
For land applications in EU/EFTA countries it is now a legal requirement to be compliant with the European ATEX Directive. Please see the HT900 Series productfor use within these countries. This also applies to mobile offshore units, and seagoing vessels that weigh less than 500 gross tones. Please check with your Health & Safety officer or insurance underwriter which standard of intrinsically safe radios may be operated on your site.
